I've searched. I've searched. and I've searched. Numbers conflict:

Some say:

Front bushings: 29lb/ft
Rear Bushings: 16lb/ft

Front and rear endlinks: 28lb/ft.

I do not know if the front and rear bushings are to be 29lb/ft BOTH of them. or the above is correct, someone please verify?

I see 28lb/ft for the FRONT AND REAR bushings on the TL site. Which is it??

Thank you!!

 

I believe the 16 was for the end links, and 29 for the mounting brackets,....front and rear are the same.

 

Uh...but here is the conflicting infor from CHOD's faq..and ACURA-TL:

Click here for sway installations for a TL. They work for the CL too.

Torque numbers according to Helms:
Rear sway bar bushing holder bolts: 16 lb-ft
Rear sway bar end link nuts: 28 lb-ft
Front sway bar bushing holder bolts: 29 lb-ft
Front sway bar end link nut: 28 lb-ft
If you wait till the car is cooled down, you don't need to remove the Y pipe.
It is recommended to get some silicon lube to lube your sway bushings so they won't make noise later, (or use silicon plumbing tape)
Don't tighten too hard or you may end up breaking your stabilizer links later.
A couple of the bolts have torx bits so using a torx tool may ease their removal.

 

Hnad torquing is enough on the end link.. the lowest number on my 1/2" Torque wrench is 30 lbft... so I torqued the end-links by hand. The others I used the wrench.

 

I was wrong,....


This is correct, or at least what I used for mine
